Hi,
I’ve managed to open the laptop successfully and replaced the thermal paste, however, the temperatures are still high. I believe there is dust stuck within the fan but I don’t have the screwdriver which open ups the fan.
Thanks
Is this a good question?

Dell usually uses philips PH0 or PH00 screws. Make sure you double check that the screws around your CPU and or GPU heatsink are torqued down. It is not uncommon to forget to tighten one down. Also, try just using a compressed air can or compressed air to blow the dust from the fans / heatsinks. If you don’t have access to that, very lightly dab water on a q-tip and try to remove all the dust that you are able to reach. Do this only to fan and heatsink components and not circuit board components. Good luck!
